MCL1 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: It has been reported that BBR could suppress the constitutive activation of STAT3 in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma, renal and oral cancer cells by down-regulating the activity of Mcl-1 [46], therefore, BBR can act inhibiting cell survival and leading apoptosis by suppressing Mcl-1 expression in different cancer cell types [45,46,47].
